Rate the .300 Win as a true ...

The std 300 win mag has been and still is used in 1000yd benchrest competitions. As petey mentioned though, it's not typically done in a factory gun. My favorite gunsmith is a firm believer that this is the best .30 round for a guy entering into a long range hunting gun. It's not too finicky as far as loading and you can get plenty of velocity out of a 28 or 30" barrel shooting 190g match kings. He and his hunting party have killed elk at 1400yards with this caliber. As he states "what more do you want a gun to do?"
